Salmon Cakes

June 15, 2016 by Judy Lyness 2 Comments

spicy salmon cakes

What to do with a side of salmon left over from my birthday party? I already put some salmon into my spicy coconut sauce and I still have a lot left over. Why not make salmon cakes? I’m not a fan of adding egg as a binder for salmon or crab cakes, it’s a mouth feel and a taste thing. A while back, I’m talking the late 80s, while working at SaraBeth’s Kitchen I was tasked … [Read more...]

Spicy Shrimp in Coconut Sauce

Conjuring up a delicious dinner is tough when you live alone. The whiny, nasally refrain “Why bother” begins as a mere whisper and gradually grows into an echoing roar in my brain.

Missing from my personal recipe for a … [Read more...]

Smoked Trout Toasts

Smoked Trout toasts

Smoked trout is a great resource for all sorts of dishes. Throw it in a salad and the rich smoky flavor adds a new level. But put it on toast and you have one hell of an appetizer. The beginning of my new very favorite appetizer was a picture I saw of Gabrielle Hamilton’s perfectly grilled cheese sandwich on Food52’s site. And the secret of her perfect golden grill? … [Read more...]
